Cold Weather Comfort

I'm a firm believer in the "apple a day" theory and often opt for one of these crisp, fiber-packed fruits in the afternoon. However, during the winter, the idea of biting into a cold apple seems, well, cold and unpleasant.

On those days, I use this trick: Slice up the apple and pop in the microwave for 45 seconds or so. Once its done, I sprinkle some cinnamon on top and devour. The result is a healthy and warm snack that reminds me of apple crisp.
